My Understanding of You Inc After Living It
Now that I am working for myself I have a better understanding of You Inc. In this article I will go into further detail and add my own spin to You Inc.
Before Becoming My Own You Inc
Table of Contents
For any of you who have been with me you know that I worked for a car dealership.
I was building my You Inc years before actually becoming my own boss.
But here is my story for any of you who are new…
I worked at a car dealership in Charleston, SC.
Thanks to certain side-hustles I was able to cut my hours down to 27 a week.
That gave me the freedom to work Thursday-Saturday.
Sunday-Wednesday I was the real Dylan Madden, but the rest of the week I became an employee.
Here is where I spent my days while at work:
Don’t get me wrong I didn’t mind the steady paycheck.
The only problem was I went in every day with this gut feeling of not doing what I needed to be doing.
I finally decided to bet on myself and take the plunge.
Taking The Plunge
After getting over the initial doubts and fears, I put my two-week notice in.
I got a great offer that would have given me quite a pay raise.
The only catch was that I would have to give my Soul.
I refused.
Instead of me just quitting I wanted to put a notice in because I actually liked the people I worked with.
It was more of a respect thing for me.
As my last day approached 4/9/2016 I felt this sense of empowerment building up within my Soul.
I was finally going to be in the real world.
It was my responsibility whether I made it or starved.
The Power Was In My Hands Now
The initial time period after I gained my freedom was nice.
I took a trip to Columbus, Georgia to watch a friend graduate from the School of Infantry.
Once I got back I spent my days relaxing and enjoying the beach.
I then allowed myself to get into a very lazy state of mind.
For a person like me that is a very bad place to be.
I soon found myself only wanting to sleep and began feeling what you would call a mild-depression.
Then I realized that I wouldn’t be able to pay my bills.
I hustled and was able to get the money I required.
The power was now in my hands.
Going through this slight problem made me realize something.
I Was Now In Business
No longer did I have a boss to give me a paycheck.
No longer did I have anyone around me.
It was now on myself to make sure I got a check.
I was now You Inc.
Starting that day I officially started looking at myself as a Corporation 24/7.
Everything in my life became business.
As I was writing an article I came up with how anyone who is a You Inc should run their lives/business.
I will call it the Trinity of Business.
The Trinity of Business
In my Trinity of Business model, there are three roles.
It is almost as if you are three different people.
If you are going to run a successful You Inc, you will have to become more than you are now.
Here is how I run my Corporation You Inc:
- Manager
- Worker
- HR
These are the only 3 roles that I have in my Corporation.
For the time being, I require nobody but myself.
Let me break down what each role includes:
- Manager: This role is in charge of making sure that the Corporation stays profitable. He must manage the Worker/HR to make sure they are efficient. He is in charge of creating tasks for the Worker.
- Worker: The Worker is the person who does all of the heavy lifting. He does whatever is required to keep the Corporation in business. Nothing more and nothing less.
- HR: The HR holds a very important role. HR is in charge of making sure that all of the Taxes of doing business are paid. HR is in charge of making sure the Worker is paid fairly and that everything runs smoothly.
As you can see the Trinity is necessary for the Corporation to stay in business.
If one of the roles fails to do their job the Corporation could go out of business.
To go out of business means that you will have to get a job…
Running You Inc Like A Business
To run You Inc it is obvious that you must treat it like a business.
By following the Trinity of Business, you will be able to run it smoothly.
In this world, you must become more than you are to get more than you’ve gotten.
It may seem strange to be 3 people in 1, but it is required.
By running your own You Inc, you will learn how to really run a big business.
To run a You Inc you must learn how to manage yourself.
By learning how to manage yourself you will be able to manage others.
What Have I Learned?
Before being in business for myself, I was a much more relaxed person.
Well, I am still a relaxed person but I do not allow people to waste my time.
I have learned the power of no.
From running my own You Inc I have become even more aware that the only Salvation you really have is yourself.
Nobody truly cares about you.
Most people are selfish and only care about what you can offer them.
Since becoming a free man I have found it increasingly hard to maintain a relationship with “normal” people.
This can make you feel lonely at times, but as time progresses you will find like-minded people.
I have also learned that running your own You Inc is SO MUCH BETTER than having a normal job.
If I want to do something I simply look in the mirror.
Victor Pride is the person who gave me the blueprint with B&D. From making money to getting what I want.
Do not allow society to tell you what you can and cannot achieve in this world.
Bet on yourself and charge into the Unknown.
Until Next Time Go And Dominate.

Glad you liked the article. Yes 2016 is the Age of Domination!
This is a great follow up to Victor Pride’s You Inc. And I know you intended for it to be that way. It has been very inspiring watching you grow as a writer and a business person. I love your hustle, bro. Keep at it. Keep putting out quality content. Dominate!
That is the plan brother.
Dylan I am really liking your site lately. No offence, but your content keeps getting better each time you put something out. Keep it up buddy..
It comes from experience brother. Don’t seek to write like me, find your own voice and style. Start living a real life and then you will find your voice. There are people out there that are waiting on you.
Thank you.
With my article I was elaborating and adding my own spin on the You Inc article.
“If I want to do something I simply look in the mirror.
Do not allow society to tell you what you can and cannot achieve in this world.
Bet on yourself and charge into the Unknown.”
Those words gave me chills. Where does this stuff come from?? I want to be able to write like you.
Awesome article bro! I like Victor Pride’s article on You Inc, but I like yours a lot as well. I really like your Trinity of Business model.
